Hello,
I'm just testing the 1.5.0rc1 binary on my PPC G3 (iBook 700Mhz,
384MB RAM, 10.4.9). It is significantly slower than all 1.5betas
released earlier. When I'm typing some characters there is always
a lag of some seconds before it appears on the screen.
This makes Lyx definetly unusable for me.
Ok, my Mac is certainly not one of the newest ;-) but now even
Word (which I really don't want to use) runs faster.
Is there a fix?
Greets,

Johannes,
You seem to have quite little RAM. It *could* be that a non-
universal version would work better for you (I really don't know
what the overhead is for running an universal application, does
someone else know?). Do you have the possibility to compile a PPC-
version. If not, please let me know and I'll upload a binary and
send you the link (limited band-width at the moment, so probably
not until Thursday).

Hello Anders,
I'm sorry but I don't know how to compile Lyx and neither have the
developertools installed (too much for my old iBook).
So, if you could upload a ppc-only binary? That would be great.
But maybe it's something else than the lack of RAM. I have installed
and tested the 1.5.0rc also here at work (University) on an G4 PPC
1.25GHz with 768MB RAM (10.4.9 also) and it behaves like my iBook
(well I know, computers don't "behave" ;-))
Greets,
Johannes
